rape is not romance.
This is the original, and the more down-to earth version; with seasoned actors, and better chemistry. Sadly, this original story is also the perpetuator and source, for the kidnapping and rape, of the female lead, by the male lead in the remake. Even the forced cuddle and dialogue between the rapist (ML) and his victim (FL) were regurgitated intact.
ML: "Are you still angry with me?"
FL: "I'm not angry. But, I hate you."
[2002, EP 11, 44:28]
ML: "Are you still angry with me?"
FL: "I'm not angry. But, I hate you."
[2015, EP 10, 55:56]
Both versions are filled with angst driven drama, hateful characters, and a revenge plot you never quite knew, if it rang true, in the end. But, most importantly for this review, in both versions the male lead, raped the female lead. It's maddening to think 'rape culture' was still being scripted, by screen writers in 2002. If it wasn't for the rape, this would be a drama that I would recommend. But, rape is not romance, and doesn't belong in the romance genre. Avoid.
